In 1954, after a disastrous attempt to run it like a D.C. edition of his Chicago Tribune, McCormick sold his paper to Meyer...
...products retail at a 1% to 200% premium, and sales are swelling to $2,000,000 this year. The company's next project will be small, 8-oz. portions for the bachelor, or for the wife who seeks girth control while her husband eats high on the hog...
